The Beatles

The Cavern Club in Liverpool is where The Beatles were discovered and launched their career — they performed here nearly 300 times between 1961 and 1963, making it the most important venue in rock history.

Abbey Road Studios in St John's Wood is where The Beatles recorded virtually all their music — the zebra crossing outside is the world's most photographed road marking, visited by millions of fans each year.

The Beatles performed the first stadium rock concert at Shea Stadium in August 1965 — 55,000 fans attended, inventing the concept of the arena rock show and changing live music forever.
